The beauty of Ellis Island and the wisdom of our predecessors cannot be denied.
But then, they never had to contend with new math, political correctness or Common Core.

They quarantined every new emigrant to our shore (or most of them anyway), allowing many millions to enter this great land of ours without  a massive epidemic such as we face today.

Their only concern is their own power. Our solvency, wealth and future is of little concern to the powers that be.
